Ciné-ONU: AHIMSA - GANDHI: The Power of the Powerless
The film narrates the impact of the Gandhian message of Non-Violence worldwide; how it inspired
Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement in USA, the Solidarity Movement in Poland, The Velvet Revolution of Havel,
and the Anti-Apartheid strife in South Africa and Nelson Mandela’s fight against injustice, oppression, racism and his struggle
to restore basic human rights and dignity for the coloured citizens of his country. In short, the film decodes the power of
Non-Violence and why it remains relevant to this day.

Simran Bedi – Executive Producer, ‘Ahisma - Gandhi: The Power of the Powerless’
Moritz Ehrmann – Director, Austrian Centre for Peace
